The annual offseason is a time for all NBA teams to fight wits and courage. They will take advantage of the few reinforcement opportunities to help the team re-adjust the lineup and improve their strength. However, looking at this summer, except for teams such as the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics, the rest of the teams are making a fortune in silence. Among them, the New York Knicks is the most typical case. After careful consideration, the team management made important signing decisions and signed two soon-to-play players, Yabuselle and Clarkson. As the main striker of the French country, Abussele's ability is completely underestimated. As an inside player, he not only has excellent low post skills, but also developed a three-pointer. Such a threatening projection will surely help the team open up the field space.

At the same time, the arrival of defender Clarkson undoubtedly injected new vitality into the Knicks. He is fully capable of leading the team's substitute lineup to charge, and his sharp breakthroughs and efficient scoring methods have become the main firepower output point of the second lineup. In addition, the management also completed an early contract renewal with Bridges, a 4-year, 150 million-dollar contract, which also made teammate Towns feel very pleased. In an interview with the media, this former No. 1 pick also talked about the team's signing operations during the offseason, Towns was not stingy with praise, saying that the current team has nothing to lack. From the depth of the lineup, we have players who can stand on their own in every position. It is no exaggeration to say that the Knicks' new lineup has been fully armed. Whether it is the defensive barrier in the inside or the scoring firepower point in the outside, there is no problem at all.

It has to be said that the pattern in the East will change dramatically next season. The Celtics, which once had a championship background, announced that its championship team had disintegrated. The team's star Tatum is likely to miss the entire season due to injury, which undoubtedly casts a heavy haze on the Celtics' future. The Pacers, who narrowly defeated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, also encountered difficulties. The team's core point guard Halliburton will be reimbursed for injury. At the same time, the departure of inside core Turner has greatly weakened the Pacers' overall strength. Such changes have allowed many Knicks fans to see an excellent opportunity for the team to strive for the championship. They seemed to see the dawn of hope, hoping that the team could overcome all obstacles in the new season and finally win the championship trophy that symbolizes supreme honor.

Indeed, the Knicks will be a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship next season, but Towns still overestimates the team's operating ability, and the team next season still has hidden dangers. During his coaching at Thibodeau, he led the Knicks to achieve many impressive results with his rigorous defensive system and rich coaching experience. However, in terms of team personnel use, the problem of insufficient use of substitutes by the coaching staff is particularly prominent, which has accelerated his departure. However, as a mature and competitive team, the bench should be an important part of it and is one of the key factors in keeping the team competitive over the long season.

Even if the new coach Mike Brown is airborne, as the best head coach, he seems to have not fully tapped the potential of a substitute player, and it will not make wing players such as Hult and Lyles fall to the point where they have no ball to play. According to statistics, the average playing time of the Knicks substitutes is at the mid-to-lower level in the league, which leads to their lack of sufficient opportunities for game training and their condition is difficult to maintain effectively. It is a bit of a dream to let the Knicks' substitute player exert all his strength in a short period of time. If the depth of the second lineup is not enhanced, the Knicks will still become the background board on the road to others' cups.
